Sweet! Now there's a December to remember! What were the specifics of your LS (year/miles/etc). Did you trade to the dealer or sell privately?

I do like the look of the new GS, but I'm still getting used to that grill...

If the Predator had a Lexus, the grill would look like that.

That interior does look inviting... I would assume it will be comfortable on long commutes.

It is indeed. Since it's the Luxury Package, it is the semi-aniline leather like my LS had and is very soft. The seats are crazy adjustable.....18 way I think and that's both front seats!

Very nice ride and great color combo! Also very curious about the GS but have not driven one yet. Really looking forward to the new LS debuting next month. How are you enjoying the ride in comparison to the LS430 aside from the upgraded technology?

I'm loving it! The ride is smooth and interior quiet. You do hear the rumble when you step on it but it's a GS.

I like the interior too....I think that color is a model year 2016+ choice. It has a V6 generating 311 HP. Much more powerful than my LS. Fun car to zip around in.
